Sorry for the late reply on Thursday's post. Originally the site was down and then I was super busy and did not have access to a computer. I'll definitely buy one of my reader's a treat of some sort. Anyway though, onto the Big Three.
1) I took my very last final yesterday morning. It was in Calc II. I actually thought it wasn't too bad, I think I did pretty well.
2) This was my very last day of college. After my test, I got lunch (HH was serving smoothies!!), started packing, had a meeting with my leadership coach, and then hung out with friends for most of the evening. At night we went one last trip to IHOP, so that was really fun. Hopefully I can still see a couple people this morning before I head out.
3) It was Friday the Thirteenth and I HATE that day. I was having the worst luck ever. Some friends and I were playing poker for fun and I didn't win a single hand. Afterwards we played Monopoly. And you know those two Chance/Community-chest cards that say "Pay X amount for each house and hotel you own."? Well, I got both of those... Right after another. Yeah, at least we're over that cursed un-holiday.
And now I get to go back home. Just a few more hours and then I'll be back!! Whoa!! I'll be seeing some of you reader(s) real soon!!

Bluh-awg Pohst Ell-eh-vuhn
Alright, how it usually works with these blog posts is we talk about three events that happened that day (or the previous day). And I'm still planning to do that, but this time, there's a clear stepping scale from terrible to awesome. So, for the moment we've all been waiting for, onto the Big Three!!
1) Last night I had my ECE 190 final exam. To put it bluntly, it was the hardest test I've ever taken in my life. On my white board, I clock in the hours I put in to study for each class. For this, I logged 28 hours of studying, but that still didn't prepare me for what they had to throw at me. The only thing I'm hoping for is partial credit and a nice curve. Everyone else in the class thought it was really tough too, so at least that's a fairly good sign... I'm not alone. I just really hope I do well in this class. Fingers crossed.
2) Now usually after a hard test, I like to have a little time to unwind and relax. But lo and behold, I had another test nine hours later. So I got my physics stuff and studied from 11 until 3 in the morning. My test was at 8 am, so I wanted to at least get a couple hours of sleep. But I couldn't sleep until 4 am. A mix of caffeine and anxiety of the previous and next test were keeping me up. Eventually I went to sleep, but my alarm clock woke me up way too early (7 am to be exact). I got some breakfast and, was going for more coffee, but opted for hot cocoa instead. Thankfully, this test went WAY better than the night before. I actually think I did pretty well on it. So yay!
3) And the third event. Most awesome. I got a 3DS!! Hendrick House had a raffle with all proceeds going to Japan Relief. It is so awesome. I have to show you once I get back!!
Anyway though, you thought studying was over, but no way! Here comes Calculus II studying for a test this Friday!! More studying ahoy!!

I've done 1010 posts! ("10" in binary!!)
Hey, reader(s)!! Hope you all are doing well. This is a special double post day! (Also due to not updating yesterday, so to make it up, two blogs!!)
Are you ready for it? Then here it comes! The Big- not one... not two... But the BIG THREE!! Boom!!
1) I woke up at 8:30 this morning and do you know what I did when I woke up? I'll give you a hint. It starts with an "S" and rhymes with Tudy... No, wait, that would be pronounced toody... Or not... it could be Tudy. Either way, I hit the books/computer and learned more programming.
2) I went for a run with Steve, the first one since the marathon. My legs were actually feeling pretty tired. I still need a bit more to fully recover, but at least it's not as bad as right after the marathon. We did four miles, but instead of picking a predetermined route, we did a random run throughout campus.
3) This is the last Sunday I'll be on campus, so my friends and I went to this Chinese restaurant- Golden Harbor. It was really cool because it was family style. We went with a group of ten so even when we ordered a lot of food, it ended up being really cheap for each of us.
This will be the last week of my college Freshman year. Also happens to be Finals week. So wish me luck, and hopefully I survive on the other side.

SOOOOOOOO sorry!! (Post Nein!!)
I'm really sorry for not updating yesterday. Over the past few days, I've just been studying and lost track of the day. I'll do a double update for yesterday (saturday) and today (sunday!).
So yesterday was Saturday, (and Sunday comes afterwards). Without further ado, onto Los Tres Largos (The Big Three)!!
1)Over the afternoon, I studied. Then studied some more, and more, and then some more... Yeah, finals have SO much studying...
2) Saturday evening Steve, Dan, Mike, and I went to the pool. It was really tiring swimming laps, but felt good to exercise again.
3) Last night, I went to a friend's for movie night and saw Ferris Beuller's Day Off. It was actually the first time I saw the whole movie from start to finish. All the time in high school, when gym was cancelled, we would start the movie and never finish. And on TV, I would catch the very end, but I never connected the dots. But now I've seen it so yaya!! =D
Okay, I'll do one more update and then BACK TO STUDYING!!

Eight's Not Late! (Actually it's kinda early)
Heya, so if you picture my day as a sandwich, studying would be the bread. And this blogpost will be the inner-good-stuff. I'm not sure if that's the best image right here, but my point is I spent about 6 hours today studying and after this post, I'm gonna spend a bunch more!!
So without further ado, let's go onto the tres largo!!
1) Happy Cinco de Mayo! Today at Hendrick House, they had Mexican food in commemoration of the holiday. It was really good. There were nachos and a cheesy, quesadilla roll. Towards the end of the year, HH bumps up the food quality big time (mostly due to finals, and they take people's recommendations. Last night we had steak!!)
2) Alright, so this morning I woke up around 9 and jumped into ECE/Programming studying. I'm not entirely proficient, but I'm feeling a lot better with pointers now. Hopefully I can get it all by the test this monday! Fingers crossed!!
3) I also went to the library this afternoon. I returned a bunch of books I checked out throughout the year and studied for a few hours there. It's a really cool (but crowded) place to go.
Alright, that's all for today. Now back to the ol' grind. STUDY! TUDYS! UDYST! DYSTU! YSTUD! STUDY!!

Do you know why seven is so lucky?
Joke answer: Because seven is most powerful! Seven ate nine!!
For real answer: When rolling two dice, seven is most likely to come up. (Along with a bunch of other historical instances of seven.)
Haha, okay, anyways, onto the big three!!
1) I woke up and went to my last class of my freshman college year! It was pretty cool too! My physics teacher showed an extremely powerful air cannon and pressure differentials with water pipes.
2) I studied physics, some calc, and ece. Finals are coming up so I have to do a LOT of studying... Ahh!!!
3) Went to the quad today and drew Pokemon with chalk. =D
Well, short little bloggie-bites (a.k.a. "tweets") for today. And now, back to studying! Bye!!

Mix-slix-six
Alright, bloggo-numba-six coming atcha!!
Thus wraps up the weekend, so let's jump right into the pool of the big three!
1) This afternoon I went with a friend to the Arboretum to study so that was pretty fun. Turns out it was a lot colder outside than it looked, so we only stayed an hour or so, but still I got quite a bit of work done.
2) I went with a group of friends to Cravings- a Chinese restaurant just down Green St. They go there often, but I often miss Sunday dinner with them. It has been over two months since I've last gone to Cravings and I've been having a craving for it. After craving a craving for Cravings, it was very satisfying to have this craved craving un-craved. (If that makes any sense).
3) I worked on an animation for my art class. I used a friend's song, but lacked some inspiration of what visuals should accompany it. So I did random, albeit interesting, visuals. Hopefully it turns out right, I'll post the finished cartoon once it's complete.
And now, without further ado, I'm going to bed. Good night, dear reader(s)!!
